Chapter 367 Always Brings Surprises
After spending one night on the boat, Luo Quan took the seaplane arranged by Oban and returned to the Maldives with Lin Yizhu.
When she came out this time, she had very little time left to ask for leave. If she followed the cruise ship back to China, it would definitely be too late.
It happened that Luo Quan and Lin Yizhu took a plane back without going too far.
Before leaving, Luo Quan handed over more than 30 million US dollars from the 300 million US dollars in chips he had just received to Johnson's hands.
She had promised to buy a diamond ring from him before, but she originally thought it was just a perfunctory gesture, but it turned out that Johnson actually arranged it for her after he went back in the evening.
It is a large diamond ring called "Brilliant Flower", composed of red diamonds, pink diamonds, blue diamonds, and white diamonds. The red diamond weighs 1.5 carats and is the heart of this diamond flower. Together with two diamonds, a total of 4 Carats of pink diamonds together form the stamen, surrounded by a circle of diamonds, which is extremely luxurious and beautiful.
And the price of such a diamond ring is naturally ridiculously high, totaling US$32.34 million.
A little cheaper than her car, but not much cheaper.
However, Luo Quan, who had just made a fortune, was also very wealthy at this time, so he bought this very nice-looking ring very grandly.
When Johnson showed her the photo, he originally wanted to give it to her directly, but Luo Quan's attitude was still the same as before. He resolutely refused to accept it for free and insisted on buying it at the original price.
In desperation, Johnson could only settle for the next best thing, and offered Luo Quan a preferential price of 30 million US dollars on the pretext of making friends, which was to wipe out the change.
At this point, Luo Quan definitely can no longer care about it. Diamond rings of this level are usually private collections of rich people and rarely circulate in the world.
It is quite interesting that Johnson is willing to sell it to her and give such a discount, although his purpose may not be particularly pure.
But at least a gentleman has no regard for his heart, and he has been showing goodwill from the beginning of the meeting.
And if she continues to be pretentious, it will indeed be easy for people to feel disgusted.
Of course, this situation is usually minimal.
Therefore, after setting the price, Luo Quan happily handed Johnson one-tenth of the chips that he had not yet had time to convert into deposits.
The rest was all exchanged by the casino for deposits.
This time Oban owed Luo Quan a favor and waived all the handling fees for her.
In addition, considering Luo Quan's status, he did not give her money directly, but completed the payment by transferring shares.
In fact, it’s normal. Although casinos are legal in many places, it’s common knowledge that the water there is deep. Many people will choose to launder their income through casinos after receiving unclear income.
The more common way is to transfer shares.
This time, Auburn gave Luo Quan big companies like Apple and Tesla, which could earn legal income of US$300 million if sold directly.
However, the stock market conditions of these two companies have been quite good in the past few years. If you hold on to them, there will be good room for growth.
Although Apple lost several percentage points due to a hacker some time ago, due to timely handling and good public relations, the market quickly rose back up.
However, Luo Quan was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of ropes for ten years. Since then, he has not saved any important information on his iPhone.
But this time I got the shares of Apple, even though I knew that this was a deal that was likely to be a sure profit, I still decisively chose to take action and got back nearly 200 million in real money.
As for the remaining Tesla shares worth US$100 million, Luo Quan did not sell them.
This automobile company founded in 2003 has been working on new energy vehicles recently. After the new car was announced, it has been widely praised by the industry, and its sales at home and abroad are also increasing day by day.
Overall, this is a company with great potential for growth. Luo Quan’s $100 million stake is roughly equivalent to 0.25% of Tesla’s current shares.
Not much, but not much. After all, Tesla is now a large company with a market value of nearly 40 billion.
However, Luo Quan didn’t know how to operate it himself. He asked his dad and he said that if you don’t know how to operate it, don’t do it blindly. Just hold it in your hand and wait for the dividends at the end of the year. This is basically applicable to all novices who are new to the stock market. advice.
As retail investors with dispersed funds, it is quite difficult to make waves in the stock market, unless a large number of retail investors unite to make a difference.
If you want to go head-to-head with those financial giants on your own, then it is synonymous with leeks. Whenever the stock market fluctuates, the first to die are usually those who think they have a chance to pick up the slack.
Overnight, Luo Quan became a rich woman with a net worth of more than 2 billion.
When she returned to the Maldives, the sunshine was still as warm as when she left.
For her now, money seems to have really become a number.
I have a house, a car, and jewelry.
The material aspect has been greatly satisfied, and the next step is the spiritual needs.
Compared to her material pursuits, her spiritual pursuit in this world, that is, her journey to stardom, has just begun.
Luo Quan returned to the Maldives at just the right time, and Wen Xia and the others were preparing to pack their luggage and book flights to return home.
Seeing Luo Quan and Lin Yizhu suddenly returning, the girls were surprised and booked two more tickets.
Lin Yizhu did not meet Luo Quan after boarding the ship this time, mainly because there were too many people. Lin Yizhu was dragged to get to know all his uncles, and he couldn't help but do it.
After the banquet, I was invited to dance by a group of boys, so I did not go to meet Luo Quan.
However, she could see clearly when Luo Quan played "Für Elise" on the stage, and after finishing the performance, she proudly said to her elders and other peers: "This is my class monitor, and we share a dormitory!" "
After having a last lunch in the Maldives, the girls got on the plane back home.
It was a great time to come out this time, especially the members of Girls’ Generation. Their nerves, which had been tense since March, have finally relaxed. These days, they don’t have to think about any work and can just lie on the beach and bask in the sun. ,Sea breeze blowing.
When I got a little hot from the sun, I jumped into the water and swam twice. It was so relaxing.
The only drawback is that the food on the island is a bit monotonous, and most of it is related to seafood.
Junko Yoona is a bit better, she has eaten more since she was a child.
But most of the other people live in the interior of China. It's okay to eat it once in a while, but they feel a little tired after eating too much.
Of course, this is just a minor flaw in the journey.
After a twenty-hour journey, the plane arrived in Beijing.
Everyone also parted ways here. Girls' Generation is going to live in the capital's residence for a few days. They will first conduct a week of training to get rid of the laziness of the past few days.
Then those who should be filming TV series will be filming TV series, and those who should be doing variety shows will be on variety shows.
The end of the year is coming soon, and we have to make a push for performance, and it is said that we will go to South Korea at the beginning of next year for development. Now the company has been in the stage of marketing and promotion, and the specific development route has not yet been completely determined.
However, the girls should probably participate in some popular variety shows in South Korea first, and get familiar with them there. After they gain popularity, they can start to carry out activities as a group.
Although Korean celebrities almost disappeared in the country during the year when the Korean ban was issued, the official has never acknowledged the existence of the Korean ban.
Moreover, the GD Bureau does not restrict domestic stars from developing in South Korea. If you really have the ability to counterattack Korean entertainment, this can be regarded as a good thing to bring glory to the country.
But for now, the most influential domestic artists in South Korea are basically artists from Hong Kong. In the mainland, there is probably only one Naquan and Girls' Generation.
South Korea's entertainment industry is quite developed, and the Hallyu style occupies a place even in the United States. It is not easy to counterattack.
At present, Girls' Generation is more promising than Luo Quan.
After all, in July last year, Luo Quan was in South Korea to promote his new album despite the Korean ban and lost a lot of popularity.
Although he later recovered a lot due to his appearance and works, his image in the eyes of the Korean public was not particularly good, and it was incomparable to China and Japan.
Currently, she has conquered two of the three East Asian countries, and now she has the last one left.
Of course, it is still relatively early to talk about these things, and her focus must still be on China, Japan, Europe and the United States. After all, these are the real big markets.
After wandering outside for nearly a week, the girls finally returned to the campus after a long absence.
The first thing is to go to the counselor to cancel the leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Quan walked into the office, he found that something seemed wrong.
"Dean, why are you here?" Luo Quan looked at Dean Zheng curiously.
"Oh, Luo Quan, why didn't you say anything about asking for leave?" Dean Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Quan and hurried over.
Luo Quan was a little nervous, thinking that she asked for too much leave, and the school was a little unhappy: "I asked the counselor for leave... I have indeed asked for leave quite frequently recently, I will definitely pay attention next time!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Zheng knew that Luo Quan had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "That's not what I meant. If students need it, the school will naturally give them leave.
I mean, why don’t you answer emails from the school when you are abroad? "
After Dean Zheng reminded him, Luo Quan remembered that his iPhone had not been turned on yet.
She had previously left the school with the email address she logged into on her Apple phone. After turning off her phone, she first took a twenty-hour ride to the capital, and then another two hours to Shanghai. She had been out of contact for the whole day.
Luo Quan hurriedly explained: "I don't use this phone much now, and I've been on a plane all day, so I forgot to turn it on."
"It's okay, just come back." Dean Zheng laughed loudly, "Luo Quan, you have won great glory for our Shangyi this time!"
"Strive for glory?" Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Are you talking about the song "To Alice" I talked about?"
It had been a day and two nights since she played "Für Elise". Many reporters were present at the time. It should have been posted that night, and it is probably already fermented in China by now.
"It's "Für Elise"!" Dean Zheng was as happy as a child at this time. "Foreign media have praised you as a musical genius comparable to Mozart. Whether it is "Canon" or "Für Elise", they are rare in a century. Excellent work once encountered.
Major domestic media have now begun to rush to report on it. Thanks to you, Shangyi has now become a famous school that breeds world-class music talents! "
Speaking of this, Dean Zheng's face couldn't help but turn red: "Although I know that your talent has little to do with the school, after all, you have just enrolled in school for less than three months.
But for the sake of publicity, the school did say some rather vain words when dealing with reporters..."
Luo Quan understood what Dean Zheng meant and smiled: "I understand what you mean, but as a student of Shangyi now, it is a good thing no matter how you look at it, to be able to bring honor to the school.
It is also an honor for me that the school can use me for publicity. "
Dean Zheng burst out laughing when he saw Luo Quan understand the righteousness so well: "Luo Quan, you are really our Shangyi... No, you are the pillar of our Chinese music talent!
The important task of leading Chinese music to the world will be yours from now on. "
Luo Quan waved his hands quickly and said in panic: "Dean, you think so highly of me. I am just a student now, and I still have many shortcomings. How can I dare to bear such a title.
If I really promote it like this, what will so many seniors and veterans think of me in the future? What does public opinion think of me? "
Dean Zheng shook his head: "I will definitely not say this to the media, but it is an indisputable fact that you are now becoming the leader of the younger generation of music.
In fact, whether it is classical music or pop music, your achievements have surpassed many seniors.
As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. When an outstanding wave comes like you, those artists with both virtue and art will be very happy. It is too late to support you, so how can they exclude you. "
In the eyes of Dean Zheng, Luo Quan is too humble.
Many of his peers he had seen were already extremely crazy when they got one-tenth of Luo Quan's grades. Being arrogant and arrogant was also a common problem among most geniuses.
Only Luo Quan has always maintained a pure heart, which is also the most valuable thing about him.
But only Luo Quan knew it. Although she couldn't see it on the surface, she really couldn't calmly regard these works as the emergence of her own talent.
That's why I use humility to cover up my guilty conscience.
"By the way, the finals of Shangyi Music's big names are about to begin. This music competition is becoming more and more influential, and it has already progressed to the point where it will be broadcast live on CCTV.
Therefore, CCTV will conduct an interview with you soon. This is why I am anxious to find you. I want to tell you here to prepare well.
You have been to the Mid-Autumn Festival Party, so you should know what to do. "
"I understand." Luo Quan nodded, indicating that he had kept it in mind.
Ps. Thanks to book friend Zircon for the book coins, thank you!
In addition, happy Chinese New Year, book friends!
